Good luck. I had the same issues with that bracket. Finally got sick of it and bought an ECS bracket.

Good deal. Just stick it out man. Worse case senerio, you get to become a pro at installing and removing the blower, something that'll come in handy later when you work more on the car. At first, It sucked removing the blower, then, it was just a matter of less then a few minutes, it was off and ready to be worked on.
